2025 MNCAA Annual Meeting
and CAWT Training
Thursday, Feb.20, 2025
Registration Starts at 8 am, training at 9am
www.mncaamanure.com (click here to register)
MNCAA membership is made up exclusively of manure handlers and those who support the organization through an associate membership. We hold our annual meeting in conjunction with CAWT re-certification training as a service to our membership. This year’s event will be in-person, with in-person speakers. There will be a lunch provided at our noon break as well as rolls and drinks at the breaks and vender trade show.
Each manure applicator company attending this event will be charged $75 for the first individual. This amount includes a Membership Fee in MNCAA. $35 will be charged for each additional attendee to help cover direct costs, including the additional meal and facility expenses. Pre-registration is required. Please fill out the registration form and return in a timely manner.
As a reminder, companies applying manure for hire in the state of MN are required to be licensed. There are three licenses, Company, Site Manager and Applicator. To maintain “Site Manager” license certification, “Site Managers” must attend, a minimum of every other year, CAWT re-certification training, take the online course offered by MN Extension, or re-test. In the past, “Applicator” licenses were obtained and maintained/renewed by viewing online education material. “Applicators” license can now get re-certified, good for 2 years, by attending “site manager” CAWT re-certification training. All licenses are issued by the MN Dept of Ag.
Attention Venders
Since there will be so many applicators in the same place at the same time, MNCAA is pleased to offer this special invitation to include vendors of this industry, turning this meeting into a unique Trade Show opportunity. The agenda for this CAWT Training Seminar, has been specifically structured to allow time before, during and after the meeting for the two groups to get together. Additionally, vendors will be allowed to be the first in line for our Noon lunch, allowing them the best opportunity to be first getting back to their Trade Show Booths.

Vendor participation in this Trade Show, qualifies you as a MNCAA Associate Member. A complete list of our Associate Members is provided on our MNCAA website. We have 8' tables available for vendors to display advertising material. Space is limited. So, each vendor will only be allowed one table.
